YORK, Maine New England's tallest lighthouse has been sold for $78,000.
A federal government spokeswoman says the General Services Administration has accepted a bid for the Boon Island Light Station off York, Maine. The winning bidder is Portland, Maine, resident Art Girard.
The Administration closed out an auction of the 133-foot-tall lighthouse tower on Aug. 17. More than a dozen bidders vied for it. The government had to approve Girard's bid, which was the highest of the bunch.

Lighthouse Keeper was one of those careers designed specifically for introverts or even misanthropes. Sadly, lighthouses are all mostly automated now.

Aw, man. I'd have bought that and fortified it nicely.
@Murphy's Law: If you're serious about buying one, there's several still available.
Heh, I would NOT want to be out there in a full blown Nor'easter...
